Product details
Overview
LTC2373CUH-16#PBF from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 1 Msps, 8-channel successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with ±1 LSB INL (max), 96 dB SNR (fully differential), and integrated 2.048 V temperature-compensated reference. It operates from a single 5 V supply, supports fully differential (±4.096 V), pseudo-differential unipolar (0–4.096 V), and pseudo-differential bipolar (±2.048 V) input ranges, and is used in high-speed industrial data acquisition systems requiring precision and low crosstalk.
For engineers reviewing the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF datasheet, LTC2373CUH-16#PBF pinout, LTC2373CUH-16#PBF application, or LTC2373CUH-16#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes operation, programmable sequencer depth of 16, SPI-compatible serial interface supporting 1.8–5 V I/O, internal reference buffer wake-up time (200 ms), and operation up to 70°C ambient.
Technical Context
The LTC2373CUH-16#PBF implements a true SAR architecture with no pipeline delay or cycle latency, enabling deterministic conversion timing. Its highly configurable 8-channel multiplexer delivers ≤ –107 dB channel-to-channel crosstalk and supports per-channel input range selection via configuration registers.
Conversion is initiated by a CNV pulse; an internal oscillator sets tCONV = 460–527 ns, while tCYC = 1 µs enables full 1 Msps throughput. The device features automatic nap mode between conversions and a dedicated sleep mode reducing current to 300 µA, scaling power dissipation with sampling rate.

Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead 5 mm × 5 mm plastic QFN (UH package) with exposed pad (Pin 33 = GND, must be soldered).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 | Analog input channels | Eight single-ended or differential-capable inputs; configured via sequencer for flexible multi-sensor monitoring. |
| COM | Common-mode reference | Provides return path for pseudo-differential modes; sets common-mode voltage for fully differential operation. |
| ADCIN+, ADCIN− | Dedicated differential input pair | High-precision input for standalone fully differential measurements; bypasses multiplexer for lowest noise path. |
| MUXOUT+, MUXOUT− | Multiplexer output pair | Drives ADCIN+/- after channel selection; enables external signal conditioning before final conversion stage. |
| REFIN | Reference input | Accepts external 2.048 V reference or disables internal buffer when driven to 0 V (REFBUF overdrive mode). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, multi-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-16 | 8-channel, 16-bit, 1 Msps, but uses parallel interface and requires external reference; ±0.5 LSB INL; 100 dB PSRR. | Designed for FPGA/microcontroller systems with wide data buses; lacks integrated reference and sequencer flexibility. | Choose AD7606C-16 when legacy parallel interface compatibility or higher PSRR is prioritized over board space and reference integration. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF?
The LTC2373CUH-16#PBF achieves a maximum sampling rate of 1 Msps with guaranteed timing specifications across its 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. This rate is supported by an internal oscillator that fixes conversion time at 460–527 ns and enforces a minimum 1 µs inter-conversion interval (tCYC), ensuring deterministic real-time behavior without external clock management overhead for the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF.
Does the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF require an external reference?
No, the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF integrates a precision 2.048 V temperature-compensated reference with 20 ppm/°C max drift and a dedicated reference buffer (REFBUF) that outputs 4.096 V. An external reference may be applied to REFIN only if higher accuracy or custom voltage is needed; otherwise, the internal reference eliminates BOM cost and layout complexity for the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF.
How does the programmable sequencer in the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF operate?
The LTC2373CUH-16#PBF features a 16-deep hardware sequencer that autonomously cycles through up to eight analog input channels (CH0–CH7), with per-channel configuration for input range (fully diff/pseudo-diff), gain, and digital compression. Sequencing is controlled via SPI writes to configuration registers, enabling unattended multi-channel acquisition without host intervention - a core capability distinguishing the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF from fixed-sequence ADCs.
What is the purpose of the MUXOUT+ and MUXOUT− pins on the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF?
MUXOUT+ and MUXOUT− provide buffered access to the output of the internal 8-channel multiplexer, placed ahead of the ADC core. These pins allow external signal conditioning (e.g., filtering, gain adjustment, or isolation) between multiplexing and conversion - preserving the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF's low-noise performance while enabling flexible analog front-end design not possible with direct CHx-to-ADCIN routing.
Can the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF operate with 1.8 V logic levels?
Yes, the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic levels on its SPI interface (SDO, SDI, SCK, RDL) via the OVDD supply pin. When OVDD = 1.8 V, VIH = 1.44 V (min) and VOL = 0.2 V (max) are guaranteed, enabling seamless interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting circuitry - a key interoperability feature of the LTC2373CUH-16#PBF.
